Zhuo Yiping and the three of them were helpless, and the four of Shen Cuttlefish didn't take it to heart, so they went with him. They were seated and the banquet began. After all, the mountain villa is an elegant place, not compared to the mortal world, naturally there is no warbler song and swallow dance, the banquet is also simple, only three or two musicians are harmonious, drumming and blowing sheng, on the side to help the fun. Everyone held the wine glasses in front of them, and Mingjue replaced the wine with tea. Gongsun Wuqiu still drank in silence alone, completely ignoring the reactions of others.

"It's a blessing that the four young heroes can come to my mountain villa and make my village shine. How can the villa be remote and barren, and only use coarse tea and light rice to wash the dust for you. Zhuo Yiping got up and raised his hand with a smile and said, and took the lead in drinking the cup for a long time to show welcome, "Everyone, please!" The four Shen cuttlefish also got up and raised their glasses, and looked at Zhuo Yiping and the three of them: "Thank you, Master Zhuo." He drank the tea and wine in his cup and sat down.

Zhuo Yiping glanced at Gongsun Wangjing beside him, and said with a smile: "It is the old man's luck to be able to get acquainted with the four young heroes. In addition, I am an old friend of Bai Yusheng, the father of the white girl, and today I can see the daughter of the old man, which also makes the old man very happy. And you are in the Yueqiu Mansion and the sword and the eyebrows of the bloody battle of the secret door seven killings, for the martial arts to remove a big harm, but also to help me a big favor in the villa, according to the rules, you from the mountain to my village, there must be something to ask for. But please say, if it is within the scope of my villa's internal strength, the old man will never refuse!"

Shen Cuttlefish then surrendered his hand and said: "Zhuo Zhuang's words are serious. This matter is a long story, but the younger generation does have a thing, and I want to ask Master Zhuo Zhuang to help. If you can get the help of the Misty Villa, the younger generation will definitely repay this kindness!" Zhuo Yiping hurriedly said: "Shen Shaoxia is a hero and a young man, I should help from the Misty Villa, what do you want, but it doesn't matter." ”

Shen Cuttlefish dressed slightly, got up and came to the center of the main hall, knelt in it, bowed and worshipped, called Zhuo Yiping and others shocked and suspicious, looked at each other, for some reason, Gongsun Wangjing hurriedly asked: "Why did Shen Shaoxia do this big gift?" Shen Cuttlefish knelt down, looked ahead, and said slowly: "The junior has a friend, who was kidnapped by a masked man in Yueqiu Mansion some time ago, and there are no clues so far, his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are uncertain. The juniors are willing to ask the owner of Zhuo Zhuang to help the juniors find this friend. ”

Bai Xingxian and the others naturally knew that the person he was talking about was An Ning'er, which was also one of the purposes of the group coming here, although it was natural and reasonable, but Bai Xingxian was inevitably a little awkward in his heart. Zhuo Yiping nodded and stroked his beard when he heard this, and asked: "Although there are no clues at all, there are a lot of ears and eyes in the Misty Mountain Villa, and they are widely scattered, so I think we can gain something." Dare to ask Shen Shaoxia's friend, is it a man or a woman, and who is his surname?"

Shen cuttlefish then replied, "Her name is An Ning'er, and she is a woman. Subsequently, he described An Ning'er's appearance in detail, Gongsun Wangjing asked his disciple to take a pen and paper, Shen Cuttlefish said, he calmly put down the pen, drew the appearance of Shen Cuttlefish on the paper, and after Shen Cuttlefish finished speaking, Gongsun Wangjing polished it again, and asked the disciple to hold the portrait of the ink that had not yet dried in front of Shen Cuttlefish, and the three of Bai Xing Tears also hugged forward, only to see Gongsun Forgetjing only used a moment to draw a lifelike portrait, only with Shen Cuttlefish's words, the appearance of An Ning'er was almost the same。

"Like, very similar, too similar!" Shen Cuttlefish looked at the portrait stupidly, full of praise. Bai Xing glared at him with tears, but Shen Cuttlefish didn't notice it, and still kept smacking his tongue and shaking his head, sighing again and again. Even the name and Pei Jingnian couldn't help but admire: "The master of the second village has a wonderful pen and flowers, it is really rare in the world!" After looking at the portrait, Shen Cuttlefish handed it over to his disciple and exchanged it with the Misty Villa.

Zhuo Yiping laughed and said: "Hahaha, my second brother is both civil and military, and he is even more proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can do anything." He took the portrait, looked at it for a while, and saw that the ink had dried, so he rolled up the portrait again, handed it to the disciple who was waiting on the side, and instructed: "Order the person who is good at painting in the village to copy this portrait a hundred times, and tell the disciples to send it to the various customs inns as soon as possible, and tell them to pay attention to the passers-by, and carefully investigate the clues about the girl in the painting." As soon as there is news, report quickly. ”

The disciple said yes and took the order. Bai Xingtear and the three of them returned to their seats, only Shen Cuttlefish was still standing in the hall, Zhuo Yiping said to him: "Shen Shaoxia can rest assured for the time being, with the power of the Misty Villa, even if you can't find the girl, you can get three or two clues, according to the old man, within five days, there will be news to return." In the past five days, I will ask Shen Gongzi and you to rest in my village and wait for good news. ”

Shen Cuttlefish was overjoyed, bowed down and bowed: "Thank you Master Zhuo!" I wanted to ask Na Zhuo Yiping to help, and use the power of the Misty Villa to compete with the Golden Lotus around the Fenglou, so as to seek a chance for revenge, but he suddenly remembered the conversation with Jian Shumei when he was in Taibai Mansion before, if the Misty Villa refused to help, it would be okay. But if the Misty Villa really starts a fierce battle with the Golden Lotus around the Phoenix Tower, it will inevitably cause many casualties.

But for his own selfishness, he involved other innocent people, got involved in his own grudges, and added a lot of debt to his soul, which made him feel uneasy. But if he didn't ask for help from the mountain villa, the matter of revenge would be far away and he would never forget it, so he would be embarrassed in every way. After thinking about it, he sighed lightly, but he still chose to be silent, and after walking back to the copper case slowly, he sat down slowly, without saying a word, and only drank alone. At this moment, he could actually feel Jian Shumei's mood, this wine could really make him temporarily forget the past events that tortured him day and night.

Zhuo Yiping saw that Shen Cuttlefish was not happy but sad, and he was puzzled, so he asked: "Shen Shaoxia still has something on his mind, why don't you want to say it clearly? Shen Cuttlefish's newly raised head hung down again, and he stopped talking. Bai Xing saw that he was so inkblotted, very abnormal, so he had already guessed his heart, knowing what he was embarrassed about, it was inevitable that he was a little distressed, but he was afraid of hurting Shen Cuttlefish's heart, so he got up and said for him: "Back to Uncle Zhuo, I don't know if he has something on his mind." However, I have a grudge that has been pressed in my heart for a long time, and I can't get rid of it, and I have hesitated to this day. ”

When Shen Cuttlefish heard this, he suddenly raised his head, and looked at Bai Xing's tears with very strange eyes, not knowing whether he was happy or angry. But Bai Xingxian ignored his gaze, walked into the hall, and bowed to Zhuo Yiping: "Back to Uncle Zhuo, I don't know if Uncle Zhuo will help the younger generation to solve this grievance." Zhuo Yiping hurriedly got up and replied: "The old man has a great friendship with your father, so he should do his best to help, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"In the past, the younger generation had a close friend, who was originally a harmonious family, and I didn't know what sorrow was. After I don't know why, I offended the thief who surrounded the Phoenix Tower, and the whole family was slaughtered, and none of the seventy-three lives of the whole house survived, but my best friend was lucky enough to leave a life, but he washed his face with tears since then, thinking about revenge all day long, how could the Golden Lotus around the Phoenix Tower be powerful, difficult to resist, so I asked me to think of a countermeasure. Now fortunately, Uncle Zhuo helped, and the younger generation asked Uncle Zhuo to use the power of the mountain villa to exterminate the evil crooked way, and the golden lotus surrounded the Phoenix Tower. ”

Bai Xing said with tears, and then looked at Shen Cuttlefish on the side, he actually closed his eyes, his eyes were already full of tears, his body trembled slightly, and he was speechless for a while. Zhuo Yiping listened to Bai Xing's tears, looked at each other, and fell into endless silence. After a long time, Zhuo Yiping sat down slowly, his expression was complicated, his eyes flashed, his lips trembled, he pondered for a moment, and said: "The Golden Lotus Circling the Phoenix Tower? ”

"Exactly!" Shirahoshi nodded in affirmation.

"Back then, the Golden Feather Evil Palace did a lot of evil, and it was a disaster, and the Central Plains Martial Arts suffered for a long time, so they combined the power of all major sects to kill the evil palace and exterminate the evil demons. After this battle, the master of the evil palace was killed, and the thirteen holy envoys were also lost seven or eight, and the martial arts colleagues thought that the crime was not as good as the righteousness of others, so they showed mercy to their subordinates and left the life of the holy woman Jin Xuan. Gongsun Wangjing said slowly, "Later, there was news that Jin Xuannu gathered her former subordinates to rebuild the Golden Lotus Circle Phoenix Tower, wanting to kill back to the Central Plains, and seek revenge from all the major sects, but after so many years, there has been no movement. Most of the time, the golden Xuannu knew that it was difficult to compete with the Central Plains martial arts, so she had to give up. ”

When Zhuo Yiping heard this, he took over the conversation and said: "Yes, but we don't know much about the Golden Lotus around the Phoenix Tower, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, acting rashly, I am only afraid of ......" He is not afraid of Jin Xuannu, but he is the owner of the Misty Villa, and he can't be rash, he has to think about the hundreds of disciples in the villa and think about the overall situation. Gongsun Wangjing shook his head and said, "Big brother, it is our long-standing wish and mission to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. In the past, we made a vow to destroy the evil people in the world. Originally, the golden lotus around the Fenglou did not do anything out of the ordinary, nor did we rush back to the Central Plains, we can still turn a blind eye. But now they have made a comeback, returned to the Central Plains to make waves, and slaughtered the family of the white girl's friend, which is really indignant and unpunished. The Misty Villa has always been based on chivalrous righteousness in the rivers and lakes, but now how can it stand by and watch?"

"Brother Wangjing's words are good!" Xiao Yan has always been an anxious person, he has long been unable to hold back, hearing Gongsun Wangjing's words are saying what he thinks in his heart, he stood up for fear of his thighs, and said in a thick voice, "How about the Golden Lotus around the Phoenix Tower? What about the Golden Feather Evil Palace? It's just a raccoon dog! As the so-called rivers and mountains are easy to change, and their nature is difficult to change, even if they don't make trouble today, they will definitely repeat the mistakes of the past in the future." If after we die, they don't change their thieving intentions, how can we come back from the dead, and then won't there be another bloody storm on the rivers and lakes, and the killing will only increase? In my opinion, it is better to strike preemptively, exterminate the golden lotus around the phoenix tower, and kill the golden Xuannu, so as to prevent future troubles!"
